Whats up guys, right now i have 17 inch rims on my car with low profile tires. I want to go a little smaller though because the ride is to rough, literally when i hit a pothole i feels like i got kicked in the ***. . The problem is that i will be doing a front 30mm z32 brake swap withing the next week. My rims now look like they should clear but i dont want to keep my rims now. So im pretty much asking if anyone knows what rims size 15-16 will clear z32 calipers and fit my car? I know the 5-zigen rims do but im looking for something a little cheaper that maybe i could pick up used. Anybody know if the Q45 rims will clear?

thanx guys and if you want to check out the rims i have now you can check out my little site......

The q45 brakes will clear pretty much any wheel at least 15" in diameter.

The z32 brakes are a bit trickier, especially with the 30mm ones.

Kosei k-1's will clear them. I have 16x7.5 +22 and I probably have 10-13mm of clearance.

if you can catch k-1s from the tire rack...they get them in every once in a while...i got lucky to get them but one of the reasons i really got a set was because of the z brake clearance

what kind of wheels do you currently have, and what tire size? they look pretty nice on your coupe

The wheels are just some 17 inch rims, the brand is racing star...probably a knock off of racing hart. The tires are 215/40/17...lol low profile really isnt a comfortable ride. The k1's look nice so i might consider them...but does anyone know if the rims from a q45 (the bbs ones) will clear z32 30mm calipers?
